Valencia, 18th July 2019.- Feria Hábitat Valencia is putting the final touches to its programme of activities and lectures set to roll out between 17th and 20th of this coming September. The lectures will address the main challenges facing the interior design, design, contract and architecture sectors from a wide spectrum of perspectives, although this year the focus will be on the challenges of the digital era, the new uses of interior design as part of the ‘customer experience’ and the relationship between the contract sector and institutional environments. Design and contracts are stars of the show

As has been the norm for the last few editions of the fair, Hábitat will be structuring its programme of events around four major themes: design, the contract sector, interior design and trends. Each event will take place on one of the days of the fair in a special space, the Ágora nude, which will be on Level 3 at Feria Valencia, next to the halls dedicated to design and the avant-garde. Design with a capital D will be under the spotlight in the sessions on day 1 of the fair, 17th September, with Ramón Esteve giving a presentation on the retrospective exhibition of his work at Hábitat. On the Tuesday, creatives from Estudio Yonoh and Pepe García of CuldeSac will be taking part in the sessions along with manufacturer Sancal, whilst the Association of Designers of the Comunidad Valenciana – ADCV will also be hosting a discussion about the economics of design in which Xavier Giner and Kike Correcher will be taking part. The next day, architecture and the contract sector will be taking to the stage in a highly focused session organised by the ARQ/DECO platform that will be featuring eminent professionals including Fran Silvestre, Jaime Sanahuja, Carmen Baselga, the Wannaone consultancy, Welcome Design and the Viteri Lapeña group
